4x4 trivia quiz

OK all you vintage 4x4 folks. What is this running gear out of? This isn't my project but I going to be following it. I saw one of these when I was little and thought it was the coolest truck in the world then and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the parents to get one.
Good luck (I know this would be better if I had some fabulous prize to offer. :lol: )

It's an old dodge power wagon most likely judging by the flathead 6

Good guesses all and the Wagoneer is close but too new and smaller. There is a Wagoneer in the shop now for restoration, but I don't know what direction the owner is going on it. The subject of the post is going to get a diesel conversion. Should be Cool! :metal:
Check out the vintage bumper sticker.

So is it the predecessor to the Wagoneer maybe? A Willys Jeep Station Wagon?

Going by the angle of the input shaft of the steering box, I'm guessing some sort of cab-over-engine. The gearshift rods going forward also indicate a COE. I had a '52 Plymouth as my first car and the engine looks similar, but Pontiac also had a flathead six, as no doubt did other manufacturers of the time. When you decide on a prize, make sure you can afford to send it below the equator.

Regards from Down Under.:gmc2:

Very good Aussie John! :metal: It is a COE. The prize committee is still working on the reward.
